Grooming San Juan Sledders’ foreman volunteers for scenery and thrills

oger Pennington, grooming foreman for the San Juan Sledders Snowmobile Club, has been on many peaks surrounding Durango – and almost always with snow. As an avid snowmobiler, Pennington is one of roughly 90 volunteers who spend their free time grooming trails in the backcountry.

“One of the most gratifying things about the ride is when you get to the top of a 13,000-foot peak and shut off the sled,” Pennington said. “The wind never stops blowing, and it sounds like the mountains are sighing.”

Pennington is one of the founding members of the club. Formed in Bayfield in 1992, the club was organized by several community members interested in grooming trails for all forms of winter recreation. Pennington, a Bayfield resident since 1986, is a member of the Colorado Snowmobile Association. He was asked to share his knowledge of the association with the interested right, where you would need ropes in the summer.” parties.

pending availability that season. They work with local organizations like Community Connections, Special Olympics and Adaptive Sports.

“The idea was actually inspired by a member whose daughter has cerebral palsy,” he said. “One day she came to me and said, ‘Is there something we can do for these individuals?’”

They created Fun Days soon after, and the club goes out every year in early March. The groups ride all day and have lunch.

“It’s great to see the smiles,” Pennington said. “The goal is to give them a fun day out in the sun. This is something they don’t do regularly, and it’s not too adventurous. The smiles are the best part.”

The club also offers various educational opportunities through their meetings, such as avalanche awareness. They meet the second Thursday of each month at various locations.

It’s like Christmas in a glass.

This is the 10th year that Steamworks has offered the seasonal brew, which was launched Nov. 6. Head Brewer Ken Martin said the beer style is based on an English Old Ale. “It works well with the integration of the flavors and aromas provided by the spruce tips,” he said. “The result is a robust malty beer with caramel and toffee notes, as well as a ‘cherry-candy like’ quality.”

Osha root is also called Colorado Cough Root, Chuchupate, Indian Parsley, mountain ginseng, and Bear Medicine.

“The best characteristic that distinguishes osha from any other root is the (‘spicy celery’) smell,” said Fitzgerald. “I would also not harvest osha if hemlock is growing near it. Hemlock grows in wet areas, whereas osha is much more widespread. So to be ultra-safe, just don’t dig in a wet area.”

Osha is dependent on mycorrhizal fungi, and attempts to artificially cultivate the plant outside of its habitat for commercial use have not been successful. That means the wild plants are a precious resource. According to Fitzgerald, to harvest osha sustainably, people should follow these guidelines: n Only harvest mature plants with flowering stalks. n Osha should only be harvested in the fall, when the leaves start to senesce, or turn yellow. n A harvester should leave a portion of the root undisturbed of the plant they are digging.

The easiest way to do that is to cut the root with a shovel and dig all the way around the portion to be harvested. Osha has rhizome roots, so leaving a portion of the root undisturbed will allow it to recolonize the area that was harvested. n Harvesters should fill in any holes. They can also leave some root crowns or seeds in the disturbed area. n The best way to encourage regeneration is by leaving some of the root to re-sprout, and fill in the disturbed area. n Never take more than 10 percent of the mature plants in a given area. It’s best to change the harvest area by finding a new location to visit each year.
